- Interpenetrated networks from a novel nanometer-sized pseudopeptidic ligand, bridging water, and transition metal ions with cds topology
-
The combination of a new pseudopeptidic ligand, transition metal ions, and bridging water molecules results in the formation of [M(μ-TBG)(μ-H 2O)(H2O)2] · 2H2O (M: Cu, Co and H2TBG: terephthaloylbisglycine); both compounds show rare two-fold interpenetrated three-dimensional cds-nets and reversible loss of coordinated and lattice water molecules.

- A Convergent Synthesis of Carbohydrate-Containing Dendimers
-
The synthesis of carbohydrate-containing dendrimers has been achieved by a convergent grwoth approach.The synthetic strategy involves: 1) the synthesis of the triglucosylated derivative of tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine (TRIS), 2) the introduction of a glycine-derived spacer and 3,3'-iminodipropionic acid derived branching units on to the TRIS derivative by amide bond formation, 3) condensation of the above saccharide-containing dendrons with a trifunctional 1,3,5-benzenetricarbonyl derivative, used as the core, by formation of amide bonds, and 4) deprotection of the saccharide units.A 9-mer and an 18-mer, carrying nine and eighteen saccharide units at the periphery, respectively, have been synthesized, in high yields at each step, by this synthetic strategy.By a variety of chromatographic and spectroscopic techniques, the dendrimers were shown to be structurally homogeneous, monodisperse, and error-free at all steps in their growth.These investigations were complemented by molecular modeling studies on the dendrimers.The presence of slightly distorted C3 symmetry was noted in both the 9-mer and the 18-mer. - Keywords: carbohydrates; cluster glucosides; convergent syntheses; dendrimers; neoglycoconjugates
